Great Australian Horse Stories (Large print, Paperback, Large type / large print edition)

Great Australian Horse Stories brings to life the exploits - - funny, poignant and sometimes dramatic - - of horses from all over the nation. Outback legends, loyal carthorses, spectacular high jumpers and trusty stock horses. Among them animals that have defied the odds to win - - or simply to live. Just as special are the people who make horses their lives: drovers and dressage riders, bush brumby runners, the famous horse handlers on film sets and rags - to - riches metropolitan trainers. Riders who have persevered through accident and adversity to stay in the saddle. From the traditions of old - timers to new methods that challenge the way we think about horses, these stories capture the essence of that special bond between humans and horses. They will resonate with horse - lovers and anyone who enjoys a great Australian yarn.
